a meeting of the heaib ofall

ternoon. He was introduced to
the organization by Mayor Sullivan
and Mr. Cooke gave an interesting
talk on Co-operation. Following isl'
bis address.
I am grateful to Mr. Sullivan for
opportunity of meeting you
afternoon. I thank him for the
words, which I find I have to
all the time, because, as you know
Sullivan, out of the goodness of
heart, feels that someone has to
you about it, whereas in his case
man, woman and child in
city knows of his ability, knows
he has accomplished here, and
don't have to say it.
iWe are working for an interesting

to you, it took a good deal!
urage on the part of Franki
ear and his associates to in
their money and to invest so
money so far away from home
ing the largest mill in the;
and against the judgement ofI
lumbermen at thle time. It
had to be planneda out, it all had

Seffect may 1. Mr. Davis' successor
has not been announ.ed.
,r. Davis has the rep;mtationef
beinig one of the most popular
transportation men in the country
and the tunusual part of his popu
larity is the fact that all men under
him were his warmest frie;ds "nr.
Davis is the first man of his posi
,tion in the railroad business that
I never heard the boys say uIny
thing against. On the contrary
they were all his friends" was the
statement made to an Eatcrprise

Swhich will 'lqui:e several days in
Newv( Orleous. He was undecided
Slast nigiht as to whether he would
Slocate in New York or Chicago,.hav

Mr. Farris began his railroad

the "home folks" of the publisher
of the Enterprise. His first duties
was as station agent at the little
village on the banks of White River I

- learn the railroad work or go fish
ing. Mr. Farris evidently did not
fish much for his climb in the rail
road world has been a steady one.
i Mr. Farris comes to the N 0 G N
. from Buffalo where he was General
I Freight and Pas,;enger agent of the

ECLIPSE LAST YEAR IF POSSIBLE
NECGO KILLED TWO
AND MAKES ESCAPE
Report That One Negro Was
Fo Frightened That ie F
Dropped I)ead t
Henry Moore committed murder m
upon two members of his race at bi
ten o'clock Monday night when he
emptied the contents of a shot gun
into Leb Applewhite and later killed H
Annie Powell, a negress wbo be- Ila
friended him. It was also stated fe
that Otis Thompson witnessed the e
killing of Anna Powell, and became h
so freightened that ble ran home and
'expired a few minutes afterwards.
It was also reported that Thompson t
died from heart failure just after ri
taking a bath and trimming a corn. s'
All of the deaths came within a few e
minutes of each other and in the
same vicinity,
According to the most reliable
information that could be secured e
it appears that the killing was pre- '
meditated. - Moore was recently t
arrested charged with assaulting v
Anna Powell. He was fined in the d
city court, the Powell woman secur
ing his release. Since that time
Moore is said to have tried to patch
up the difference with her but with no
Success. He appeared at her home
Monday night. As he entered the
front door he fired a shot - gun at
Leb Applewhite which resulted in b
instant death. The negress then
ran from the house but later was b
overtaken by Moore on the street,
who fired at close range, the full ii
load taking effect in the back in
flicting a ghastly wound which
caused instantaneous death. After
Moore had finished his fiendish
work he threw the gun at her body
and then proceeded to make his es
cape which was successful, at the
time of going to press. Bloodhounds
arrived Tuesday afternoon and were
out on the trial. His capture is ex- I
pected at any hour. f

BEST OF THE YEAR
Indications Point To Blig i
)Demand And Good Price
For All Lumber
The number of orders received
for Yellow Pine, during the past
week, by the mills in this territory,
is indicative of the fact that the de
mand is greatly increasing with
the advance of spring. With this
increase in demand also comes ant r
increase in price on nearly all items. I
The timber market is especially ac
tive and business is being secured
in good volume at the higher level
of prices. 1
The Great Southern Lumber Com
Spany, of this place, reports an ex
Sceptionally good month, referring
I hoth to the volume of business,
which they are securing, and the
Samount of stock which will move
during the current month. They
state that the amount of business,
on which they are quoting, and
which is being offered to them, is
greater than at any time since the
r fist of the year.
